As root (su, enter root password) fire up your favorite text editor
(type its name on the command line in a terminal window) and edit the
file /boot/grub/grub.conf and just type in, or copy and paste, the
above text in single qoutes to the end of the line that begins with:

kernel /vmlinuz

Save it, and quit.  If you don't yet have a favorite text editor, I
would suggest something like gnome-edit or kedit for the job for now. 
If you want to become a real Linux hacker someday you will want to
learn emacs (hurray!) or vi eventually.  Actually, probably at least a
little of both really.
